Pulmonary function
  FVC, % predicted 0.98 (0.93–1.02) 0.326
  DLco, % predicted 0.98 (0.93–1.03) 0.478
Six-minute walk test
Distance 0.99 (0.99–1.00) 0.189
Lowest SpO2 0.95 (0.83–1.09) 0.453
Baseline KL-6 1.00 (1.00–1.00) 0.496
Δ KL-6, % * 1.03 (1.00–1.06) 0.077

* The relative change in KL-6 value from baseline to 12 months. IPF, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index; FVC, forced vital capacity; DLco, diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; SpO2, percutaneous oxygen saturation; KL-6, Krebs von den Lungen-6.
